Training built around your own machines and procedures. Operators make their mistakes in the simulation, and you get a record of who is ready for the shop floor.
People practise on the simulation, so the real machine keeps producing while they learn.
First attempts no longer cost you scrap, tooling or your best operator's time standing over a new starter. Other sites train on the same build, with no trainer travelling between them.
Lock-outs, guarding and safe starts rehearsed where getting it wrong hurts nobody.
Every attempt is logged, so you know who is ready and where each person needs more time.
PPE equipped and confirmed before the trainee approaches the machine.
Unsafe hand placement is flagged the moment it happens.
Control inputs and the start-up sequence, in the order they were done.
In this run the trainee left an object in an unsafe place, missed part of the safety check and put a hand too close to the blade. Nobody was hurt and nothing was damaged. Every event becomes a record: time, category, action and result.
The same log can be viewed as an overall score, by category, as a procedure timeline or line by line. We agree what to track and how to report it at the start, and it can be exported to your LMS.
Example views from our CNC demo. Illustrative training data.
A headset isn't always the answer. We start with the job your people need to get right, then pick the format that suits it.
For hazardous or high-cost tasks. Hands-on practice on a faithful model of your equipment, as many times as it takes.
Step-by-step guidance in the trainee's own surroundings. Cognetic, our own demo, walks a trainee through a mechanical assembly one part at a time.
The same procedure in interactive 3D on a tablet, laptop or browser, for teams and sites where a headset isn't practical.
We take a module we have already made and adjust the steps, equipment and wording to match your own procedure. Your safety lead signs it off before anyone trains on it.
Your equipment and procedure modelled from your CAD, drawings and site photos, checked with your subject-matter experts. We start with a pilot on one real task.
Starter modules are a starting point, not a certified course. They are checked against your procedure and approved by your own competent person before use.
Signal engineers work the signalling and a train runs the route they have set, including when they get it wrong. PM Training set three outcomes for it, and the system won the Enginuity Skills Innovation of the Year Award 2023.
Seeing what happens when a step goes wrong.
Breaking the routine of work done every day.
Not skipping steps, and speaking up for others.
"I didn't think you could use VR for signal engineering. You have proved me wrong!"
A walk-round plant at true 1:1 scale, built from the manufacturer's existing 3D models, with component hotspots and multi-user sessions so their team and customers can stand inside it together.
We are a remote studio in North Wales and bring headsets to your site. If VR isn't the right tool for the task, we will say so.
